Re: [Bug-tar] file name too long to be stored in a GNU multivolume header

Well that's easier said then done. I use applications off the 
distribution to take advantage of the vendors updates and patches. In 
this case I am using SuSE 10.2, so the version of tar that I am using is 
what SuSE is supplying. I suppose I can ask them to Please Upgrade it, 
but I doubt they will. I'll have to see what ships with 10.3. What 
version of tar is the minimum I would need for this to work?
